In the sphere of health education a special effort, spread over
a period of three months, was given to the subject of home safety.
Co-operation by heads of schools was such as to ensure success and
a competition for the best essay on safety precautions was well
supported.
I wish to commend to the notice of the Council the hard and
unobtrusive work of the public health inspectors and clerical staff and
to the heads of these sections who have in addition to normal duties,
contributed to the preparation of reports and recommendations to the
Borough joint committees concerned with local government reorganisation.
In conclusion I wish to express my sincere gratitude to the
Chairmen and members of the Health, Area and Housing Committees
for their constant encouragement and support.
I am,
Your Obedient Servant,
G. HAMILTON HOGBEN,
Medical Officer of Health.
November, 1964.
